100 % Online Telehealth. Do you feel stuck—caught in patterns of anxiety, depression, or self-doubt that won’t seem to let go? Are you struggling to feel secure in your relationships, or carrying the weight of grief and unresolved pain from the past? You may sense that something deeper is at play, even if you can’t quite name it. Therapy can offer a path forward—a way to understand yourself more fully and build a life shaped by meaning, connection, and inner freedom.
I offer a collaborative, compassionate approach to therapy, grounded in psychodynamic and attachment-based principles, alongside the practical tools of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and the wisdom of Buddhist psychology. Together, we can work to understand the roots of your suffering, hold difficult emotions, and cultivate new ways of relating.
Our sessions are a space to slow down and listen deeply—to what hurts, to what you long for, and to what is possible. I’ll work with you to uncover patterns that may be holding you back, while also helping you practice acceptance, mindfulness, and the courage to move toward a life that feels rich and authentic.
